Village President Ed Saylor, who is running for re-election, will vie for the seat against Joseph Zurfluh, who currently sits on the board.

Board members Robb Sigler and Roland Hawk also have opted not to seek re-election, according to Village Clerk Diane Tremmel.

At least four people have filed paperwork to fill three village trustee seats: incumbent Erik Saylor, who is the son of President Ed Saylor, as well as John Bingham, Sue Mitchell and Tiara Grunden.

The deadline to file candidacy papers for trustees had been Tuesday, but that deadline has been extended to Friday because Hawk notified the village late that he would not seek another term, Tremmel said.

The spring election is April 4.
